Most Favorable Review

Dell Vostro 200 upgrade

MSI GeForce 9500 GT 512MB GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Graphics Card N95GT-MD512-OC
MSI GeForce 9500 GT 512MB GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Graphics Card N95GT-MD512-OC

Pros: Works fine with stock 300 watt power supply even though it suggests 350 watt on specs. Now I can play newer games that wouldn't work on original G33 onboard video.

Cons: None

Most Critical Review

Epic Fail

MSI GeForce 9500 GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card N9500GT MD512 D3
MSI GeForce 9500 GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card N9500GT MD512 D3

Pros: Don't know yet. It looks pretty.

Cons: Crashes computer in 3D applications. RMA to repair but they sent it back in same condition. Will try RMA again. Installed on 3 different computers same problem. Also haven't received rebate either.

Overall Review: Too much time and money wasted on defective product. Going with ATI card next time.

Dell Vostro 200 upgrade

Intel Pentium E5200 - Pentium Dual-Core Wolfdale Dual-Core 2.5 GHz LGA 775 65W Desktop Processor - BX80571E5200
Intel Pentium E5200 - Pentium Dual-Core Wolfdale Dual-Core 2.5 GHz LGA 775 65W Desktop Processor - BX80571E5200

Pros: Dell Vostro 200 upgraded from stock 1.8 Ghz processor with no troubles except below. I can run newer games now with no problems!

Cons: Had to use original Dell heatsink and fan because the supplied Intel unit doesn't fit the Dell Foxconn G33MO2 motherboard.

Overall Review: Dell website doesn't indicate this processor as an upgrade but sockets are same and BIOS works fine but no overclock or tweaks.
